Wondering how waterproof orage jackets are in general. Not the down ones, but their insulated ones and shells. The website doesnt really say much of anything about waterproof qualities. Thanks for the help

^15,000 is just under Gore-Tex, but is still excellent as long as you dont live in the Northwest. If you live on the EC, 15,000 is enough for you.

No problem. Living in CT, you should be great with 15,000.

My Spyder pants are only 5,000mm but they are pretty waterproof. The only problem I have is water leaking in from the leg zippers. I also have a 10,000mm Spyder jacket that the rain drops damn near bounce off of. Of course we are taling a couple of hours, not all day. I am in PA.
